US has given over $43bn of military aid to Ukraine

The Biden Administration has provided Ukraine more than 3.1 million rounds of artillery, rockets and other long-range munitions, Deputy US Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said on Monday.

“In the 18 months since then, we’ve sent Ukraine over 3.1 million rockets, missiles, mortars and artillery rounds – and that’s only four of the categories of munitions,” Hicks said during remarks at a National Defense Industrial Association conference.

The United States has also cooperated with the private sector to help Ukraine access commercial technologies that aid them on the battlefield, Hicks said.

The US has provided more than $43 billion in total military assistance, Hicks added.
